New York City is made up of five boroughs: the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. Each one has enough attractions—and enough personality—to be a city all its own. Learn more about them with this guide.

Thursday, December 13Panel: “David Wojnarowicz: Motion Rhythms” at EAI

Opening: Will Boone, “Yes No Goodbye” at Karma
We do not have any information about this show, except for a cryptic e-mail with what appears to be a rural photograph from Google Maps’s Streetview feature. But, you know, it’s Karma, so it’ll be a good time. —Dan DurayKarma, 21 Downing Street, 6 to 8 p.m.
